Yes, that's pretty much it. I have no doubt that Shakespeare had a good notion of period politics, but I also have no doubt that he had a sense of self-preservation, which would've governed how he dared portray or allude to those in power. Plus which, he - like everyone - is sure to have had his own bias.
